Chalk Cloth Table Topper in action!

Chalk Cloth Table Topper in action!, originally uploaded by ModernJune.

We had a blast last night hosting our annual Halloween Trick or Treat Party. The entire family agrees that this is our most favorite gathering of the year. The chili pot is on, the snacks are spooky and the company is always entertaining.

This year I broke out a Modern June Chalk Cloth Table Toppers for myself. You know I have to test all my products, I simply can't make something I don't want to use, and use often. I was really surprised that I didn't have one of these bad boys before yesterday. I have to say it fit perfectly on my island, it almost seems like I planned it that way.

Chalk cloth is a holiday hit, check out all the other hostess-have-to haves at our Modern June Etsy Shop and plan you next party with us!

Wicked Ice Cubes

A quick trip to my local CVS found me with a couple of packages of creepy gummy worms and a plan!

The kids thought it best to tear them into pieces.

Left hanging out of the ice cube trays makes it even more spooky!

Now that's just gross, our guests tonight will love it!

This is a wonderful pillow I found at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden Gift Shop. Isn't it lovely?

witchy sweets!

At Wednesday's Park Day all the moms made sweets for the kids Halloween Parade, there were so many yummy treats but this one I had to try out for myself!   Check out these cute little witch hat cookies. They are so quick and easy, just melt the kisses in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and then adhere them to the cookies. Cute, easy and delish!

Introducing the Eva Apron

INTRODUCING OUR NEW EVA APRON IN RED FLORAL. This sexy apron combines Amy Butler and Hollywood Regency cotton prints, that, together make for a sultry bohemian elegance that cannot be denied. 

This lovely fabric has been just waiting for this apron! The mix of high end Designer Fabrics give the slinky new Eva Apron an eclectic bohemian elegance. 

Let's Talk Turkey

There are 28 days to Thanksgiving Day and I need help. We need to talk turkey!  I don't know about you but this fact really shocked me on Monday as I was flipping through Bon Appetite in a doctors waiting room.  One of my favorite things to so is to gaze at the delicious recipes in all the glossy magazines but truth be told I am not the worlds best cook and my family is so picky that even if I could pull it off no one would eat it.  So I don't have to worry about what to cook for thanksgiving, plain and simple food is all that is required.  But give me a tablescape to plan I am golden!

This year I am for sure using my new Chalk Cloth Table Runner, at 72" it now hangs over the edge of my dining room table but once I put the table leaves in it will make a nice long centerpiece for a casual or elegant  Turkey Day Dinner.

That about a new oilcloth tablecloth just for me, hmmmm?   Lime Dots would be fun and would work well with my Fiesta Ware and the upcoming Christmas season decor as well.  Or, I could go a bit more elegant and make a Brown Lace Tablecloth, this way I could bring down my mother in-laws china!

So, I need help deciding, fun lime dots or elegant brown lace oilcloth?  Please leave a comment with your choice.  And don't forget it isn't too late to order your own custom tablecloth,  deadline is November 1st!
